[Apricot peony] April 23, 2014 09:00

Recently, I feel the impact of the consumption tax hike in the Tsukiji Outer Market is the "half price market"!

At Tsukiji Outer Market, which is also recognized by food professionals, about 300 stores are always looking forward to this event, where each of them turns "one dish" carefully selected from their specialty products into "half price" Isn't it?

 

The start of "half price market" is 10:00 am, but it is expected that it will be quite crowded on the day, so go early and first get a product that will be "half price" and a flyer with the location of the shop Get.

Let's check what you want.

 

There are some items with a limited number, so go to the shop you want at the same time as starting.

If the road is crowded and you can't pass, it may be faster to make a large turn from the other side of Harumi-dori St.

 

If you want to finish shopping and take a break, if the weather is nice, you can go to Tsukiji River Park behind Honganji.

Higashiginza and Ginza are also a short walk, so it may be a good idea to walk back there slowly.

 

And the next 7th is the annual "Nichikaichi" every month.

For a total of 2,000 yen for shopping receipts on the day, a lottery called "Ketsukoru" will be deducted once.

This month, a special set that allows 100 people with a special prize to compare the eating of 9 famous egg-yaki restaurants in the market.

And there are 400 tickets worth 500 yen that can be used in the out-of-market market.

It is an unusual opportunity to experience the slightly different tastes of egg-yaki and the differences in textures at each store.

Why don't you come here too?
